Passengers Forced to Sit Next to Deceased Woman for Hours on Qatar Airways Flight

An Australian couple described the incident as traumatic after being seated beside a covered body for four hours on a flight from Melbourne to Doha.

An Australian couple, Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin, were seated next to a deceased passenger for four hours during a Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne to Doha.
The woman collapsed and passed away after returning from the restroom; efforts by the crew to resuscitate her were unsuccessful.
Flight attendants initially attempted to move the body to the business class section but ultimately placed it in an empty seat next to the couple.
The couple criticized the airline's handling of the situation, calling the experience traumatic and questioning the protocol for such incidents.
Qatar Airways has apologized for the inconvenience and stated that they are investigating the situation while coordinating with the affected passengers.
